Zambia's kwacha firmed 1.4 percent against dollar on Monday, buoyed by last week's pledge by President Edgar Lungu to cut spending and support the struggling mining sector.

"The kwacha continues strengthening against the greenback and other major convertibles, backed by tight monetary policy and continued dollar flows from corporates,"BancABC said in a note.
